Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0029876A2] A method for operating a preferably confocal laser scanning microscope, whereby the laser system (1) includes at least one solid laser or a diode laser. The inventive method avoids undesirable falsification of image data and is characterized in that the scanning process or acquisition of data is synchronized with a substantially continuous intensity emission phase of said laser system (1). The laser system (1) and the data acquisition system (3) are synchronized via a control unit (2).
